Junior Galway Film Fleadh

Save the Date : 8th – 11th November 2017

The 23rd Junior Galway Film Fleadh takes place from 8th – 11th November 2017 in Galway’s Town Hall Theatre. As the young people’s arm of the prestigious Galway Film Fleadh, the JGFF screens a range of films with young people as the main characters covering topics relevant to them. This includes World Cinema (French, Spanish and German language titles) which support the curriculum, documentaries and Irish language programming. Alongside this we run Social Awareness Screenings, a range of Workshops to develop filmmaking skills plus a Story Pitching Competition that emphasises the importance of writing to the audio-visual industry. This year we celebrate 23 years of entertaining and educating young people through the power of film. Like our big sister festival, the Galway Film Fleadh, the Junior Fleadh is a festival for discovering new talent. An outreach programme of German and Irish language titles is also available to City and County Schools.

 

The JGFF places the work of young people at the centre of its annual festival with a curated programme of student short films from all around Ireland, called Future Filmmakers.

Each edition of the festival is put together in consultation with a Youth Council, comprised of film fans of different ages, schools and backgrounds, to ensure that the content is relevant and of interest to the younger audiences taking part.

                                          

The JGFF annual Storytelling competition emphasises good writing as the backbone of the film and television industry. The Competition encourages students to commit their ideas to paper through extremely open criteria which allows them to submit a story idea for any platform or genre – making young filmmakers and storytellers aware of the full opportunities of the modern transmedia landscape.

 

Programme details available from October on www.galwayfilmfleadh.com or contact Annette on 091 562 200.

Young People - Shout Out about What You Do!

Are you aged 16-25, and involved in a cultural activity (sports, music, art, drama, video gaming, youth group etc.)?

Tell other young people, researchers, professionals and policymakers about what this activity means to you!

 

What’s this about? We are seeking enthusiastic young people ages 16-25 to shout-out about their experience of taking part in cultural activities. A ‘shout-out’ is a 3-minute talk or creative presentation about a cultural organisation, club, project or activity that means something to you. You could talk about your time in a sports club, a rock band, a choir, a youth club, a Young Farmers’ Club, a youth theatre… Or you could tell us about cultural activities that are less ‘organised’: for example, are you part of a video gaming circle?

Whatever group or activity you choose to talk about, we want to hear why it is important to you.

Where and When? We’re holding a conference called ‘Spaces to Belong to’. It will take place at the Brian Friel Theatre, Queen’s University Belfast, 21 University Square, Belfast BT7 1NN.

The conference will be on Friday 15th September 2017, from 10:30am – 5:15pm

We’ll bring together young people and researchers, professionals and policymakers whose work affects young people, to explore young people’s perspectives on culture, identity and cultural participation on the island of Ireland today.

Why should I do this? You will have your voice heard by people in power. The shout-outs will be followed by group discussions, so you’ll be able to talk with researchers, policymakers and professionals who make decisions about the opportunities available to young people ages 12 – 25
